Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a ca rhoek te a khue tih, “Tun ngol uh lamtah, vuenvai ah nangmih taengah aka thoeng ham te nangmih taengah ka puen pawn ni,” a ti nah.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; And hearken unto Israel your father.
“Jakob ca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih a coi uh thae vaengah, Na pa Israel kah ol te ya uh van lah.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength; The excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.
Reuben nang he ka caming tih, ka thadueng neh, ka thahuem cuek, hlangrhuel boeimang, hlangtlung hlangrhuel la na om dae,
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not have the excellency; Because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed: Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
Na pa kah thingkong sola na yoeng tih, ka rhaenghmuen te na poeih phoeiah, tui bangla na soetaenah dongah caknoi khaw na khueh mahpawh.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; Weapons of violence are their swords.
Simeon neh Levi boeina, amih rhoi kah tubael tah kuthlahnah tumca ni.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their council; Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their selfwill they houghed an ox.
Amih rhoi kah tingtunnah dongah ka hinglu naepkhap pawh. Amah rhoi kah thintoek dongah hlang a ngawn rhoi tih, vaito kaprhui haih ham te amih rhoi kah kolonah la a om dongah, ka thangpomnah loh amih rhoi kah a hlangping te bulbo boel saeh.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; And their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.
Amih rhoi kah a thinpom khaw a tlung dongah a thintoek te thae a phoei thil. Te dongah a mangkhak te Jakob taengah ka tael vetih Israel taengah khaw ka taekyak ni.
8 Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee.
Judah nang he na manuca rhoek loh nang n'uem uh ni. Na kut te na thunkha kah a rhawn dongla cu ni. Na pacaboeina te nang taengah bakop uh ni.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he couched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
Judah he sathueng ca ni. Ka ca loh maeh kung lamkah na bal phoeiah, sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla aka yuel tih, aka kol te u long anih a haeng eh.
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come; And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
Judah lamkah mancai tah nong boel saeh lamtah, a kho laklo lamloh taem saeh. Shiloh a pha duela anih taengah, pilnam kah boengainah om saeh.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes:
A laaktal, laaktal te misur dongah, a laak ca te cangsawt misur dongah pael saeh. A pueinak te misurtui dongah, a hnipup, hnipup te misur thii dongah til saeh.
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk.
Na mik khaw misurtui lakah ling vetih, na no te suktui lakah bok ni.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea: And he shall be for an haven of ships; And his border shall be upon Zidon.
Zebulun he tuitunli kah langkaeng ah khosa saeh lamtah, langkaeng kah sangpho rhoek bangla a bawtnah loh Sidon due pha saeh.
14 Issachar is a strong ass, Couching down between the sheepfolds:
Issakhar he laak songrhuh bangla saelvong laklo ah na kol.
15 And he saw a resting place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under taskwork.
Duemnah then neh khohmuen hlahmae te khaw a hmuh dae, a phueih te a laengpang ah a thueng tih aka thotat saldong la om ni.
16 Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan he Israel koca pakhat vanbangla a pilnam kah lai a thui pah ni.
17 Dan shall be a serpent in the way, An adder in the path, That biteth the horse’s heels, So that his rider falleth backward.
Dan he long taengkah rhul neh marhang dongkah aka ngol te a hnuk la bung saeh tila marhang khomik aka maeng tih, caehlong ah rhulthae bangla om ni.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
BOEIPA nang kah khangnah ham ni ka lamtawn he.
19 Gad, a troop shall press upon him: But he shall press upon their heel.
Gad he caem loh tloek cakhaw anih loh a khomik a tloek pah ni.
20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, And he shall yield royal dainties.
Asher ham caak bae vetih, manghai buhmong a tael ni.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: He giveth goodly words.
Naphtali tah sayukrhuinu bangla khocaeh dangka vetih, ol then a thui ni.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a fountain; His branches run over the wall.
Joseph tah a ca loh thaihsu tih, a ca loh tuiphuet taengah pungtai. Ngannu ngankhong loh pangbueng dongla luei.
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, And shot at him, and persecuted him:
Thaltang boei rhoek a konaeh uh dongah, a phaep uh tih a kah uh.
24 But his bow abode in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong, By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel, )
Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, And by the Almighty, who shall bless thee, With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath, Blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
Na pa kah Pathen loh nang m'bom tih Tlungthang loh nang te vaan a sosang kah yoethennah, a laedil kah aka kol yoethennah nen khaw, a rhangsuk dongkah yoethennah nen khaw, a bung khuikah nen khaw yoethen m'paek dongah, a li khaw tangkuek la om tih, a kut bantha khaw caang.
26 The blessings of thy father Have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors Unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Na pa kah yoethennah he kai aka yom kah yoethennah lakah len. Khosuen som ah a saelongnah hil Joseph lu so neh a manuca hlangcoelh luki soah om saeh.
27 Benjamin is a wolf that ravineth: In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at even he shall divide the spoil.
Benjamin, uithang laihat loh, mincang ah maeh a ngaeh, hlaem ah kutbuem a tael,” a ti nah.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
A pum boeih la Israel koca he hlai nit dongah a napa loh amih taengah a thui vaengah amah kah yoethennah neh amih te yoethen rhip a paek.
29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Kai he ka pilnam taengla ka khum atah a pa rhoek neh Khitti Ephron lo kah lungko ah n'up uh.
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace:
Kanaan kho Mamre hmai, Makpelah lo kah lungko te phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron taeng lamkah Abraham loh a lai khohmuen ni.
31 there they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah:
Ti ah te Abraham neh a yuu Sarah a up uh tih Isaak neh a yuu Rebekah te pahoi a up uh coeng. Leah khaw pahoi ka up coeng.
32 the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.
Te dongah Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah te khohmuen boiva neh a khuikah lungko te,” a ti nah.
33 And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
Jakob loh a ca rhoek a uen te a khah phoeiah baiphaih dongla a kho a yueh. Te phoeiah pal tih a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
